Pump by Sharon Jennings
Patrick is your typical, skateboard-loving seventh grader. Although he can be a bit mischievous (like skipping school), he's a good kid (even cooks dinner for his mom).
Unfortunately, his neighbor, Mrs. Harris, doesn't think so. Anytime Pat and his friends are in the street skateboarding, she complains and even calls the cops. This only gets worse when the boys find some old materials to make a launch ramp.
Pat and his friends must stick up for their right to skateboard, even if it means speaking up at a town hall meeting.
I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who loves skateboarding! Maybe you could tell me what some of the terms mean - goofyfoot? ollie? acid-drop?
